He lauded the role of CRPF in helping maintain security and lots of other activities including those for the cause of the society.

On the occasion, the Parliamentary Secretary iugurated a mela and exhibition stalls, put up by Self Help Groups and wives of security personnel and medical camp besides making a round of weapon demonstration.

A variety of sports contests, followed by cultural night marked the occasion. Later, Sidisow distributed prizes to the winners of several sports contests, a press release said here today.
